"There is a lot that can be said about me, but I think it's most important for you to know that I am high-energy and very snuggly! Also, I snore when I sleep, and I have an obsession with squeaky toys! I do not want to go to a home with other dogs or cats, so please let me be the only pet in the home. See me here!"
